WE heartily agree with the Herald in
pronouncing against the postponement
of the school term from the first to the
second week OF September Quite apart
from squandering one weeks time for
which over $1,000 will be paid to teach
ers for, services not rendered, and the loss
it involves to school children in depriv-
ing them of the benefits of one weeks
study, the move is illadvised. 1t will
result in many accidents to school chill
dren who will roam about the streets
when they are crowded by thousands of
teams, and when street railways and
steam cars are running frequently be-
tween the city and fair grounds and vet
erans' camp. One day vacation for the
benefit of the teachers and pupils would
have been ample. 1t would afford them
all the opportunity they need to visit the
exposition and the soldiers camp. To
keep pupils out of school for the entire
week will cause needless anxiety to their
parents and much annoyance to the
police.

Of two years standing, and yet we DO
not hear Of a professional Juror being
challenged on this account by attorneys
who have aperfect right to do so. Many
jurors who served during the spring
term OF the district court in Doug
las county had served for three or more
terms previously. The object of this
wholesome law was therefore thwarted
by county officials who had hungry
friends at court to provide for. A great
deal of complaint manifested itself with
eference to the personnel and conduct
of our last district court jury. 1t piaialy
demonstrated the fact that professional
jury has tendency toward onehanded
justice. 1t is 10 be hoped that in making
up the list from which jurors are to be
drawn for the fall term due regard will
be paid to the plain letter of the law.
The professional juryman should be
kindly admonished that he can find
plenty of work on the streets with pick
and shovel.

erto been, SO that the country has no
reason, as the situation now looks, to
hope for anything from the abandon
ment Of differences in the democratic
household. Having shown the failure of
the democratic party to do anything ex.
cept to demonstrate its incapacity, Sem
ator Wilson dwelt somewhat upon the
fact that the reliance of the democracy is
on the solid south. which was illustrated
ty familiar circumstances that are very
sure to be made more familiar as .he no.
litlcal battle becomes more active.
Leaving politics, the senator referred
to the transportation question rs one of
intense interest, and said there must be
no backward step taken in the reform
that has been commenced. "The inter-
state commerce law must be enforced in
its true spirit and purpose. and such
amendments as may be made thereto
must be to strengthen and better en-
force it," The republican party will
make no mistake In taking this position
and steadfastly adhering to it.

A Promised Whitewash,

The forthcoming report of the civil ser.
vice commissioners will be awaited with
considerable interest in some quarters,
for the reason that it is expected to
whitewash the administration. The re.
cent arrangement of the president by
George William Curtis before the civil
service reform league, for having failed
to satisfy the demands and expectations
of the reformers, has endangered the
standing of Mr.. Cleveland with this ele-
ment, and apparently the commissioners
feel called upon to vindicate him. They
would certainly be an ungrateful lot if
they did not make an attempt to do so,
but 1t will be interesting to observe what
sort of a job they make of it. No one
could keep keener watch of the situa-
ton than the president of the Ma
tional league. Mr.. Curtis, and it
will be universally granted that
he knows what is and what is not civil
service reform. He has full apprecia-
ton. also, of the Importance of what he
publicly says on this subject in its rela
tions to the administration. When, there
fore, he solemnly declares before the as
icy of the administration mas been sadly
disappointing and no real help to the re-
form, the indictment is one that the
country must accept as authoritative,
and which Commissioner Oberly and his
associates will find it difficult to set
aside.
1t is impossible to say what extent of
damage the arraignment of Mr.. Curtis
has worked the administration, but it
would seem that it has at least made the
president uneasy. He evidently still
places considerable value on the mug.
wump support, and is more willing
to have that placated than he
is to crafty vastly larger
democratic vote that would be very glad
to be convinced that he had neglected
civil service reform and would do so still
more in the future. So far as Mr.. Curtis
is concerned he has made haste to re-
assure the president that he can be relied
on, and his influence will doubtless be
used to keep the mugwumps in line.
Perhaps it would be wise to let the mat
ter rest here. A vindication that should
upset the indictment of the president Of
the national reform league might not be
good campaign document among the
democrats of New York. New Jersey and
Indiana, upon whom administration
hopes largely rest. But evid emily Mr..
Cleveland feels that he can take large
chances in every other direction if he
can but hold the mugwumps, and there
fore the commission will doubtless be
permitted to carry out It's purpose of an
attempted vindication. The effort, as
we nave already said. will be awaited
with good deal of interest, the country
meanwhile keeping in mind higgins and
few other eminent examples.

THE acting commissioner of Indian af-
fairs. having given careful consideration
to the question submitted to the bureau
as to whether the Santee Indians of Ne
braska are citizens, has sent to the state
authorities his opinion that they are,
supporting this view by numerous cita.
tions. He recommends. however, that
the matter be submitted to the courts for
determination. A similar question hav-
ing arisen in Dakota it was recommended
that the Indians be advised to abstain
from voting. The acting commissioner
makes out case in favor of the Indians
that seems to be entirely tenable, and
which, if sustained by the courts, will of
course entitle the Santees to vote under
the laws of Nebraska. Assuming this ac-
complishcd, the suggestion is pertinent
that these Indian citizens should be per-
mitted to enjoy with their other rights
and privileges the right to take care of
themselves. There Is no good reason why
they should have special partiality shown
them over other citizens in having Il gov.
ernment agent to look after their well
fare, and that Office could very properly
be dispensed with.

Politics in Iowa.

Senator Wilson of Iowa delivered an
address at Brooklyn on Wednesday,
which should perhaps be regarded as
the keynote of the republican campaign
in that state. The senator first addressed
himself to the not difficult task of show
ing that the country has not gained any.
thing by the political change that was
made in 1884. He had simply to point
out that the democratic administration
has not fulfilled a single pledge contained
in the national platform. and that what
ever it has done for which it can claim
any credit was IN pursuance of laws en-
acted while republican administrations
were in power. All the splendid prom.
ises of reform with which the demo.
cracy went to the country in
the last national campaign are
still unredeemed. and the indi.
cations are that they will remain so.
There is not the slightest assurance that
the administration and the democratic
representatives in congress will get any
nearer to an agreement upon any aues-
ton of party policy than they have hith.

WHEN the Omaha Jobbers' union un-
loaded its freight bureau upon the board
of trade it was expected that the COM
missioner would be something more than
an ornamental figure head, drawing $500
per month, with an Office in the chamber
of commerce free. So far, we fail
to observe that anything has been
accomplished for the iobbers or for the
merchants who are members of the board
of trade. Nobody intimates that the
commissioner is incompetent, but he is
certainly inefficient. Whether this is
caused by indifference or close relations
with the railroads, we are at a loss to
comprehend. Lincoln has a commits.
sioner who is not afraid to tackle the
railroads, and who is vlgi-
liant and active in asserting the
claims of Lincoln and her jobbers for
far rates and proper treatment. II
Omaha is getting all the favor at the
hands of the railroad to which she is en-
titled the freight bureau might as well
be closed up for repairs. The board of
trade is not rich enough yet to squander
money on supernumeraries.

Pennsylvania Republicans.

The republicans of Pennsylvania had
little to do In their state convention OH
Wednesday. The nomination of candi-
dates for secretary of state and supreme
judge was quickly disposed of, the men
chosen having been selected in advance
by the party managers, and the adoption
of the platform was purely matter Of
form, that document also having been in
the main framed before the convention
assembled. As declaration of policy it
presents nothing strikingly new, and of
course contains the usual tariff plank.
There Is one point in the platform,
however. which will attract general at
tention and comment, and that is the ex
preston favorable to the nomination
of Blame. The language employed
does not unqualIfiedly commit the
party to the support of Mr.. Blaine, the
declaration being that "the republicans
of Penn sylvania, the native state of Hon.
James G. Blame, will view with high
pleasure his nomination for the presi-
dency in the campaign of 1885, but this
IS a sufficiently definite announcement
of preference to satisfy the dearest friend
=
man himself. There can be no doubt
that it was designed to offset the action
of the Ohio convention in endorsing SEN
ator Sherman. and if the example is to
be followed in other states the question
as to who will be the candidate of the re-
publican party next year is very likely
to be practically settled far in advance
of the meeting of the national
convention. There has never been any
question that Mr.. Blaine would have
the Pennsylvania delegation. the repub-
Leans of that state having an abiding
faith in him which nothing can shake.
His plurality in 1884 was over $4,000, and
he received nearly 80, 900 more votes
than Garfield did in 1880. Evidently his
hold upon Pennsylvania republicans has
not diminished, and nothing is more sure
than that the delegation from that state
in the national convention will be
Blaine delegation. 1t is not probable,
however, that the assurance of that fact
will exert very great influence, and We
do not think the friends of MIR. Blaine.
will be warranted in growing enthusias.
tic over the declaration of the Pennsyl-
vania republicans. With regard to the
wisdom of making the declaration, which
will be construed as tantamount to de-
mand for the nomination of Mr.. Blaine.
there is perhaps room for wide differ
ence of opinion. The general policy,
however, of such expressions of prefer
ence, is of questionable expediency.

The Starvation Policy

The managers of the Omaha fair and
committee IN charge of the Grand Army
of the Republic reunion have made re-
quisition for fifty special policemen during
fair and reunion week.
This special police force is almost an
absolute necessity for the protection of
the large number of visitors that will be
in Omaha the second week of September
But Mayor Broatch is not in position to
comply with this request. The police
fund, by reason of the starvation policy
which the council has inaugurated is
barely sufficient to pay the salaries of
the regular force, small rs it is. 1t will
require at least one thousand dollars to
cover the expense of fifty special po-
licemen for six days. This money
will have to be raised by contribu tons
from business men and citizens generally
or the council will have to devise ways
and means to meet the emergency.
When the BEE protested against the
small levy which the council made in
July for police purposes the papers that
support the starvation policy declared
that the levy was ample, not only for
ordinary purposes but for an increase of
the regular force to seventy men.
Now the effect of this vindictive
course is beginning to manifest
itself. The regular police force has only
been increased by five patrolmen and yet
Councilman Hascall openly declared two
weeks ago that the commission will incur
an overlap for maintaining the handful
Of men now on the force. Not dollar
for emergencies, which may occur at any
time by reason of turbulence or riot. Not
dollar to protect visitors to the fair and
Grand Army reunion from outlaws that
are always on hand where there is Il
great popular gathering. and who always
operate IN such crowds unless there Is
an ample and vigilant police force to re-
press them. But even If roughs and pick
pockets made themselves scarce during
fair week, force of fifty special police
men would still be needed to keep the
streets clear of obstruction, to direct
strangers who are not familiar with our
streets and prevent accidents that are
likely to happen on crowded thorough
fares by reason of reckless or fast driv-
ing, runaway teams, etc.
For this state of affair the council must
assume responsibility. 1t Is the direct
Outgrowth of its starvation policy. Every
member who has given support to this
policy must now realize that he has con-
tributed to a criminal blunder.
